AUTOMATIC SEAT POSITIONER
OPERATIONThis system is designed so that the driver’s seat
will automatically move when the automatic
transmission selector lever is in the P (Park)
position. This allows the driver to get into and out
of the driver’s seat more easily.
When one of the following conditions is met, the
driver’s seat will slide backward:
When the key is removed from the ignition
switch.
When the driver’s door is opened with the
key turned to ACC or LOCK.
When the key is turned from ON to LOCK
with the driver’s door open.
When one of the following conditions is met, the
driver’s seat will return to the positions before
being set.
When the key is inserted into the ignition
switch.
When the driver’s door is closed with the key
turned to ACC or LOCK.
When the key is turned to ON.Procedure for storing memoryTwo positions can be stored in the automatic

dures to use the memory system.
1. Set the automatic transmission selector lever
to the P (Park) position.
2. Turn the ignition ON.
3. Adjust the driver’s seat to the desired posi-
tions by manually operating each adjusting

During this step, do not turn the ignition to
any positions other than ON.
4. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds,push the memory switch 1 or 2 fully for at
least 1 second.
The indicator light for the pushed memory
switch will come on and stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds after pushing the switch.
After the indicator light goes off, the selected
positions are stored in the selected memory
(1 or 2).
If memory is stored in the same memory
switch, the previous memory will be deleted.
Confirming memory storageTurn the ignition ON and push the SET
switch. If the main memory has not been
stored, the indicator light will come on for
approximately 0.5 seconds. When the
memory has stored the position, the indicator
light will stay on for approximately 5 seconds.
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse blows, the memory will be canceled. In
such a case, reset the desired positions
using the following procedures.
1. Open and close the driver’s door more than
two times with the ignition key in the LOCK
position.
